The Internet of Things (IoT) is exploding, but many people are still unaware of the risks introduced by smart devices. Read on to learn what the IoT security challenges are and how to defend against them with strong security software.
Many network security solutions do not have the ability to detect connected IoT devices or show which devices are communicating on the network. The following sections explore these and other big IoT security challenges including: Weak authentication and authorization Lack of encryption Vulnerabilities in...
There are two major challenges facing IoT security. The first is complex deployment environments and network structures, including access and data processing for massive numbers of devices, complex network structures, excessive numbers of communication protocols, and the different security requirements of d...
The European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) actively contributes to European cybersecurity policy. ENISA is about to create acertification frameworkfor IoT devices in particular. ENISA recently published "Good Practices forSecurity of IoT- Secure Software Development Lifecycle" ...
Although 5G will be more efficient than 4G LTE, it will bring new IoT security challenges. 5G will further widen the cybersecurity attack surface. For IoT devices specifically, these challenges relate to:Cyberattacks: The rise in IoT device usage has opened vast new attack surfaces vulnerable ...
In this chapter, we have discussed major security challenges for the IoT, major cyber threats, attacks and remedies on various IoT parts and applications. Importance of role and requirement of light weight cryptography in the IoT is also discussed in this chapter....
Security challenges go far beyond the devices themselves. IoT devices connect to the network in a variety of ways, and each requires its own security strategy. Wired, Wireless, and Cloud: Mobile IoT devices use a variety of methods and protocols to connect to the network. Stationary IoT device...
The top challenges OEMs face in securing the supply chains are: A lack of clarity around best practices for implementing security across global manufacturing lines Concern that an outage will result in equipment downtime that impacts production output ...
Editor’s Note:Despite the proliferation of IoT devices, securing these devices remains an on-going concern, to the degree that security challenges can be a barrier to adoption of connected devices in Industrial IoT (IIoT) and mission-critical applications where corporate and personal data may be...
The adoption of standard security (counter) measures is not always effective, especially with the presence of resource-constrained IoT devices. Hence, there is a need to conduct penetration testing at the level of IoT systems. However, the main issue is the fact that IoT consists of a large ...
